"He discovered, just by thinking about it, the essential structure of the cosmos. The scientif-
ic touchstones of our age -- the Bomb, space travel, electronics -- all bear his fingerprints."
Albert Einstein, in his spare time "produced three world-shattering papers for a single
volume (now priceless) of the premier journal Annalen der Physik. They were "blazing
rockets which in the dark of the night suddenly cast a brief but powerful illumination over
an immense unknown region," as the physicist Louis de Broglie said."
setting the stage for generations of deep tension between granularity and smoothness in
physicists' view of energy and matter. Another discovered, imaginatively, the microscopic
motion of nolecules in a liquid -- making it possible to calculate their exact size and
incidentally proving their very reality (many scientists, as the century began, still doubted
that atoms existed). And the third -- well, as Einstein said in a letter to a friend, it "modifies
the theory of SPACE and TIME."Ah, yes. Relativity."
and three years later he was proved correct by actual experimental evidence. In 1922 he
he won the Nobel Prize in Physics. In 1939 he successfully urged F.D.R. to develop
the atom bomb.

"It was Einstein who saw it. Space and Time were not apples and oranges, he realized, but mates -- joined, homologous, inseperable. "Henceforth, space by itself and time by itself are doomed to fade away into mere shadows," said Hermann |

It is not difficult for most of us to believe that E=mc2, because we know that relatively small atom bombs destroyed 2 Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Naga -saki, something that would not be possible by using hundreds of planes loaded with "ordinary" bombs. We are also used to seeing or hearing about hundreds of |
Over the period of our childhood we learn to judge distances by differences in what we see
and hear in rlationship to a moving object. ....Those of us who live in towns or large cities
must cross roads and streets repeatedly every day we go anywhere, and our very lives
depend on this ability to judge the speed and distance of oncoming automobiles, trucks,
and busses......We do this unconsciously by comparing in our brains the comparitive size
[relative size] of a vehicle UP CLOSE with the size of that same vehicle FAR AWAY.
As the vehicle APPEARS GRADUALLY LARGER we know it is getting CLOSER. .All
the while we know in our minds that the size of the car or truck has not changed, only that
its size APPEARS to have changed, and we "bet our lives" on this change in appearance to
allow us to safely cross the road.....
.......At the same time we are also unconsciously and automatically doing some pretty complex
MATHEMATICS in our brains, converting the apparent SIZE of the oncoming car or truck
into both DISTANCE and TIME......Distance from us NOW and also distance by the time
we expect to get to the middle of the road. ....And whether or not we will have TIME to
cross the road before the car or truck gets to where we expect to be in a few moments if we
judge it is safe to cross the road.......All this requires no formal education, some dogs and
cats [but few chickens] can and do accomplish this every day all over the world.
.........Sound is also involved in our judgement of distance and speed, although this is
relatively unimportant in cities where traffic must of necessity travel much slower. ...Some of
us grew up in the country, however, and others in the city take holidays in the country where
sound is useful to judge an approaching vehicle's speed.......As a speeding vehicle
approaches us we hear at first a high-pitched hum much higher than the real sound the car
or engine is making....as it passes us the sound instantly lowers to the more accurate pitch..
and as it speeds off, now going away from us, the pitch is lower yet....Yet we know in our
minds that the speed of the car has been the same all along! .....We are so used to this
relationship between sound and speed, the RELATIVITY involved, that we can close our
eyes and estimate how far away the speeding vehicle is, when it passes, and know it has
now gone some distance past us....We might say that SOUND has been WARPED or
distorted by the SPEED of the vehicle, becoming noticible only because the vehicle is
going 60 miles an hour, not 10 or 15 miles an hour...
vehicle with quite a bit of space inside, with several children inside tossing a small ball back
and forth as they drive by you.......They are doing it slowly and carefully, otherwise their
parents up front would make them stop.......You cannot see them until they are quite close,
but if you are watching them closely, you will notice that the ball APPEARS to be thrown
much FASTER in the direction the bus or recreation vehicle is coming from, that when it
is thrown in the direction the vehicles is traveling towards. ....In fact, even at the common
speed of 60 miles per hour, in the forward direction, to you the outsider, the ball will
appear to be not going forward at all towards the catcher, but backwards towards the
thrower, like a movie film in reverse........Which is a clue that TIME, which works on a
similar principle of RELATIVITY, can appear to run backwards in the frame of
reference of an outside observer, such as you are as you watch these two children toss a
ball back and forth in the moving vehicle.
.........Of a more practical nature, and perhaps more easily understood to those who might
have difficalty imagining the above ball game, is the situation in which someone by accident
or design leaves a vehicle in motion. .......Suddenly, as in crossing a street in the city, the
relative speed of the vehicle and your surroundings once you have left the vehicle must be
taken into account or you are extremely likely to suffer death or serious injury. .....While
you are riding at let's say forty miles per hour you imagined or perceived yourself as sitting
or standing still, and indeed you were RELATIVE to your vehicle. ......Once you
jump out of, or are thrown out of, the vehicle, you are no longer sitting or standing still, but
traveling through the air at forty miles per hour, and all sorts of things can happen to you
until that time you have slowed down to a much slower speed, hopefully in one piece.
This can be likened to a TIME/SPACE traveler who has "landed" or been
ejected into another time-frame, and must suddenly adjust to conditions
perhaps quite foreign to those the person is used to!
and those who have attended only grade school might understand, but with a little more
imagination some may also understand the type of examples Einstein and his associates
might use in 1905 and 1916, when trains were the fastest land transportation. ...Railroad
cars are quite long, and some have windows all along the side of the car. ....Imagine now
a man with a stop-watch timing an event, lets say a lighted ball, dropping from the ceiling
to the floor of the railroad car, as taking 1/2 second. .....The ball APPEARS to be dropping
in a straight line to the man in the car. ....Outside the car at a place he can see all events,
the beginning of the drop, and the time the ball hits the floor, is another man standing still,
while the train is travelling at 40 miles per hour.... Even at this relatively slow speed, the
dropping ball will seem to take longer to drop, and a much longer diagonal path to the
man outside the train, and if he uses his stopwatch, his reading is likely to be different than
that of the stopwatch on the train.
........Now we'll use one of the examples used in the March 29, 1999 TIME magazine,
although it involves actually measuring how long light travels a relatively short distance,
something quite impractical without extremely rare and sensitive instruments. ....Not bothered
by such practical considerations, TIME pictures a man with a stopwatch inside another
train measuring how long it takes a pulse of light to go from one end of the railway car to
the other end.......Outside the car another man is making the same measurement, but the
motion of the railway car will be apparently be added to the length of the light beam and the
time it takes to go the same real distance inside the car. ....Interestingly, to the outside
observer, the railway car will appear longer or shorter, depending on which way it is moving
RELATIVE to the light beam or pulse.......Light travels so extremely fast that such an
experiment was really impractical until the age of round the world jet travel and atomic clocks.
It is now practical to demonstrate this part of Einstein's theory true, because
two atomic clocks can be put on two jetliners, one going around the world
travelling east, and another travelling west, and when they meet again at the
same airport, one atomic clock will read slightly different from the other.
proposed by Albert Einstein in 1905, we have here shown that TIME/SPACE is not two
separate entities, but one and the same thing, and anything moving in relation to something
else causes at least a little change in time as viewed by another person in a different frame
of reference. ....As we now prepare to take longer and longer trips into Space, we must
calculate such things and take them into consideration.......Already in Einstein's time, people
could imagine a time when two twins could separate, one going on a space trip approaching
the speed of light, and return still a young man, to find his twin brother either an old man, or
had died of old age. .....The mechanisms are also imagined, but not yet built by us on earth,
in which we could indeed travel to the past, and watch things happen that actually happened
long ago. .....With equiptment of the type seen now by hundreds and perhaps thousands of
people around the world, classified for the present with the term Unidentified Flying Objects,
[UFOs], there is really no good reason NOT to believe such things have not happened in
the past, and are NOT happening right now.......Experiments performed on us by other much
more technilogically advanced races of beings FROM ELSEWHERE!
